Summary: Informational modeling and description of language is a
research project aimed at language definition with the aid of means of
information theory and information science in general in order to make
them sufficiently formalized with assigned measure for computer use on
the one hand, and for the best appropriateness to human use in
linguistics with maximum inclusion and control of linguistic data on the
other.
Keywords: informational language modeling, information theory, quantified formalization, standardization of morphology, automatic lemmatization, knowledge sistemization.
Research goals: The basic objective of the project is broadening of
existing and establishing of new computer aided grammatical systems and
achievement of a complete set of machine used morphological rules of
Croatian language where exceptions are thought of as the rules for small
subsets of data entries. The expected results of the research project shall
make a basis for application in publishing of the first (ever)
morphological dictionary of Croatian, for development of a professional
spellcheck computer programme for spelling and dictionary control of
Croatian texts in regard of typographical errors, OCR errors, the words
which do not belong to the standard language and for applied research in
grammatical analyzers and lemmatizers of Croatian. Other information about the project.
